IOTA is an open-source Layer 1 designed as public digital infrastructure for onchain economic activity. Its profile describes a Directed Acyclic Graph architecture paired with the Move virtual machine, supporting smart contracts, digital assets, and digital identity. It identifies possible applications in digital trade and supply chains, including trade documents, product passports, business identity, and cross-border asset movement. IOTA uses delegated proof of stake. The IOTA token is used for network participation, staking, validator rewards, and transaction fees, which the profile says are burned. The system also mentions refundable storage deposits and sponsored transactions. IOTA’s distinctiveness is the combination of infrastructure, identity, trade-related applications, and application-level fee features, although the supplied material does not document current adoption or implementation depth.

Every CryptoGrade rating comes from the same published, rules-based framework: six weighted dimensions produce a 0–100 composite score, hard disqualifying gates can force exclusion regardless of score, and fixed thresholds map the composite to a grade. Read the full methodology on the Framework page.
The full IOTA verdict — the investment thesis, disqualifier gate checks, per-dimension scores with provenance, on-chain usage and developer-activity signals, and the complete score history — is free with a sign-in and identical for everyone.
